played the Beta, thought 'not bad, might have a punt on this when it's cheap(ish)'
had a rush of blood and decided to grab the Gold package........now thinking '**** me this is proper good fun' and I'm only an hour and a bit into the single player

..... an it's Copey! dam you. Also the dark zone is a little hard at first. On the first go today for me, I died loads but once you kill a few it's easier. Get in group, and it's even easier. More fire power. I have just done about 30 min dark zone with bunch of randoms, but we all clicked in place with gear and skills and I've ranked up by 5 or more and get a lot of gear from there. If about at the weekend join me in Dark Zone for bit. But yes you do need a mic! just makes it whole lot better.
It's a great game... just make sure you match make or get some people to play with you as it changes the play of game for better. And the Dark Zone is great, people can all work together to get gear out.... but never trust anyone really...
Back on at Friday night and weekend I think.

So far I've been doing the main story and side missions on this and am yet to venture into the dark zone. What are the advantages of doing the dark zone? I'm presuming it's where you find the best loot?

What do you guys think of the AMD drivers 16.3 to the 15.12? Think I might roll back, 15.12 seem far better.
It just doesn't do it for me !! It runs fine and the graphics, albiet nothing like the pre-footage, look good but the PvE is mind numbingly boring. Gears of War from years ago does it infinitely better.
I never feel like I'm in a perilous environment or in danger which annoy's the ++++ out of me! the background story and setting is all there but the atmosphere isn't! I go to an encounter and it's the same dross event, the radar tells me the direction they are going to attack so I just sit behind cover dispatching the idiots as they run directly at me !! wtf !! I thought after the beta they might have added to the AI but no....
I despise all this hand holding dross we get nowadays, there's no need to explore just follow the orange idiot proof pathing to where you have to go, hold a button to complete your objective and then look at the shiny stuff you get for no effort...
And yes, I only have myself to blame for buying into this pap..

Picked up the Gold edition tonight, download quite fast. Graphics look good, just played the first mission and two side ones, which is a shame as I've got work in a few hours.
Not impressed with the gun action, I hit a few enemies in the head and they were still running around.

It's not that type of game, don't expect headshots to be instant kills unless you're a much better level.
GoW is are totally different game.
All missions im doing on hard only,and if you go to zones where level higher,you will see difference - some are rushing,while others are sniping at you,not sure what people want from AI,its good enough for this game,i certainly like it,seen much much worse
Matter of taste probably ?
Go to the Dark Zone mate. You've only played the handholding stuff and complaining about handholding - there's more to it
Granted there seems to be little to do in the DZ except explore, kill random mobs and/or people, but the atmosphere is there
Also, try re-running missions on hard, they're significantly more difficult.Also, as Mario said -- as you get higher in levels they adopt more tactics. Some stay back and snipe, some rush, some throw grenades to flush you out.
Must admit the stats side of things is confusing me somewhat. I'm lvl 13 with 4K dps,8k health and 3k skill I have no idea if that's good or bad lol.
I quite like it but much prefer the pvp side of not knowing if they're about to shoot me or not.

I'm enjoying this.

The DZ was the only place I had fun in the beta's, gaining the trust of randoms and waiting at the drop points only to shoot the nubs in the back and steal their gear was the best bit.
My sheer dissapointment stems from how good the game could have been, there's really no innovation nor anything new and sadly no skill involved. It just feels like all garnish and no meat, it might last a month or so but no longer.
